Couscous Spinach Tomato Salad
SALAD
¾ cup fat free veggie broth (I used Hain No Salt Added veggie broth)
½ cup uncooked couscous
1 cup Green Giant Frozen Cut Leaf Spinach, thawed, drained
¼ cup chopped onion
2 Italian plum tomatoes, chopped (I used 1 regular tomato)
DRESSING
1 tablespoon white white vinegar
2 teaspoons canola oil
¼ cup reduced fat feta cheese (the recipe actually calls for 2 tablespoons, but I doubled it because I love feta cheese!)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
Bring broth to a boil in medium saucepan; remove from heat. Stir in couscous. Cover; let stand 5 minutes. In large bowl, combine cooked couscous and remaining salad ingredients; mix well.
In a small bowl, combine all dressing ingredients; blend well. Pour over salad mixture; mix well. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour or until chilled. 4 (1/2 cup) servings.

To reduce fat, you can use the 2 tablespoons feta cheese as the recipe calls for (instead of ¼ cup). That would make the recipe 131 calories, 3.5 grams fat, and 157 mg sodium.
